Anorith (Japanese: アノプス Anopusu) is a Rock/Bug-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation III that is capable of being revived from the Claw Fossil.
Biology
Physiology
Anorith is based on an ancient ocean-dwelling creature from the pre-cambrian era called anomalocaris. It uses the fins on its back to propel itself through the seas. It has one pair of large eyes, and a pair of claws that eventually would become a Claw Fossil found in the Hoenn region. Small eyes also appear to stick out of its face.
Natural abilities
Anorith has the abilities Swift Swim and Battle Armor. Battle Armor prevents Anorith from gaining critical hits while Swift Swim increases Anorith's speed when in rain. They are known to live in the prehistoric times of the Pokémon era and they grab their prey on the sea floor with their sharp claws.
Evolution
Anorith evolves into Armaldo at level 40.

Trivia
- Despite being based on water creatures, Anorith is not a Water-type. Anorith shares this trait with its evolution, Armaldo, Inkay, Malamar, and Stunfisk.
- Anorith and Armaldo are the only two Pokémon that are Bug-types with gender that are not in the Bug egg group.
Origins
Its name may be a combination of Anomalocaris, an ancient ocean dweller resembling a shrimp, the creature that this Pokémon is based on, and lith, Latin for stone.
